can the white Minka Aire without a light be reversed for winter to bring warm air down from a high ceiling? can this be done with the remote?.

i think it can be reversed, but it must be done manually, not w/the remote.

I can't see any way to reverse mine, and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to this. Having said that, mine operates blowing air down all the time, which I find works well in winter to bring warm air down, and creates a nice breeze in the summer. If you look at the blade shape, they really are designed to blow downwards so am doubtful how well they would reverse (if it was possible). Apart from this, I love the fan. It is very quiet, elegant, changes speed smoothly. Love it! (and if anyone can tell me how to reverse direction, please let me know how - I'm very curious).

Yes, it can be reversed (mine is reversed right now), but you have to do it on the fan. It cannot be done on the remote.

I do have the remote and it works really well for changing the speed. The different speeds are great, with very smooth operations. I am extremely happy with this ceiling fan.

They claim that in the manual, but I just installed a quite similar Minka Aire today that made the same claim, and installed the cover with the 3.5" downrod. It just makes it difficult (not much working room) to do the electrical connections, and you'll need a very short screwdriver to attach the ceiling cover. Its a bit of a pain, but worth it, as its not pretty w/o that cover plate.

Hi Liz, Thanks for the question. Usually the reverse function is at its most convenient when it's used with a remote control. Many fans also have a reverse switch on the actual fan, on top of the motor. Not sure if this one does, however. Still, with the remote, you have full reverse capabilities, as well as light-dimming control. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Liz, please call one of our experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Yes, you can discard the WCS212 control unit and replace it with a standard wall switch.I have 2 Minka Aire fans, one of them is controlled with the WCS212 and a hand held remote; the other fan is controlled with a standard wall switch (which I keep always on) and the hand held remote

yes, this fan can be reversed. My husband says that the switch is on the brushed nickel piece that attaches the fan to the ceiling.

I believe it can. I just started using it the past few days since it just recently started getting cold at night here in the northeast. When you first turn it on it's on HI. The instructions state to leave it on HI until it warms the room then adjust the temp. The economy setting is 72 plus or minus 3 degrees (more like plus 3). But I would say you could just leave it on HI unless the unit overheats and kicks it self off but I wouldn't want to see my light bill! Not sure of the cost of running it since we just got it. It appears to be a solid unit and I've always had good luck with Lasko products. The unit is smaller than what you would expect but it puts out great. Hope this helps.

Hello Mayra,Thank you for your message and interest in the Minka Aire F1000-ORB Dyno Ceiling Fan. The full function remote controls both the fan speeds (3-speeds), on/off as well as independent control for the light kit.Thank you.

Yes, the fan is reversable. It has a reverse slide switch. View all info about this fan at: http://www.minka-aire/products There is a downloadable fan manual at their website too.

Yes, you can. I just installed the fan this past Sunday, and I didn't use the remote. It will install like any normal fan with a light kit...ground, black, white, and blue wires.

Hi,Yes. According to http://www.delmarfans.com/minka-aire-ceiling-fans/supra/f563-sp-bs-dw/ it is an add-on option. Look under the "Control" section about 1/2 way down the page. We have a different fan but the remote works great on ours for both the fan speed and light switch/dimmer.

No you cannot. I have my fan remote in front of me and there are 5 buttons on it total. 3 for speed, 1 for power, and 1 for the light (optional). You have to manually reverse the airflow via a switch that is on the fan itself. Hope this helps!

This unit has a knob that you manipulate for temperature, you would need to be able to reach it every time to turn it on to the desired temp and then turn it off. Also, it needs clearance around it and because it would be installed on a ceiling where all the warm air rises, I would not think that would be optimal, for multiple reasons as above.

You can rotate the heater arms manually like when I'm sitting under it and I move one a little if it gets too warm right over my head but it's not like a ceiling fan with a continuous motion. I've been using mine every morning and I can sit outside earlier now because it was too cold before.

not as out of the box, you would have to buy a motor control unit, I remember back in my electrical days we would install one for celling fans to control but they can be a little pricey, do not buy a sliding light dimmer switch as these will fail and are made to dim lighting only. hope this helps: http://www.lumens.com/wall-mount-wired-fan-control-wc105-by-minka-aire-fans-R032740.html?utm_medium=PLA&utm_source=google&utm_term=&kwid=productads-plaid^83005992873-sku^R032740-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^42350083071

NO.. You can control the light but not the air flow. I found this strange too. I just cover the air flow with rocks and it slow to a trickle.

I don't think so as there is no "reverse" switch on the fan. You can call Air King to see if they have a model with reversible direction blades. Good luck!

Yes, it works great as an overhead light. We have six of them on the floor going up and three on the ceiling coming down as color wash on the back of our stage. I have used the remote within about 20 feet, but have not tried it any further. We now use a controller.
